Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 (3.4 oz.) package instant vanilla pudding mix
- 2 cups cold eggnog
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Instructions
- Mix Eggnog and Spices: Place the cold eggnog in a mixing bowl and whisk in ground cinnamon and ground nutmeg until evenly combined, infusing the eggnog with warm, aromatic flavors.
- Add Pudding Mix: Gradually pour in the instant vanilla pudding powder while whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Continue whisking until the mixture is well combined and begins to thicken slightly.
- Divide into Bowls: Spoon the pudding mixture evenly into four individual serving bowls, preparing them for chilling.
- Chill to Set: Cover the bowls and refrigerate until the pudding is set. It will be soft-set and ready to eat after about 10 minutes, but for the best texture and fully developed eggnog flavor, chill overnight.
- Adjust Spice to Taste: You can increase or decrease the amount of ground cinnamon and nutmeg according to your flavor preferences.
- Optional Sugar-Free Version: This recipe also works well using sugar-free instant pudding mix if you prefer a lower sugar dessert.
Notes
- For best flavor, chill pudding overnight to allow spices and eggnog flavor to fully meld.
- Use well-chilled eggnog to speed up pudding setting time.
- Adjust cinnamon and nutmeg amounts to suit your taste preference.
- Suitable for making with sugar-free vanilla pudding mix.
